Resolve Optics has been selected by Specialised Imaging to supply a novel relay lens to optimise quality of image transfer from the intensifier to the image sensor of the SIR2 high-speed range camera
Traditionally most range camera designs have made do with two off-the-shelf lenses placed back to back to transfer images from the intensifier to the image sensor.
However this approach typically has produced a large amount of shading and image distortion.
Resolve Optics were tasked to design and manufacture a relay lens that was both compact and eliminated the shading and distortion effects which degrade the quality of transferred images.
The resultant novel f/2.8, 1 to 1.1 magnification relay lens has enables enabled the SIR2 range camera to produce images with no visible distortion which are equally illuminated across the whole of the image area.
The novel compact relay lens also ensured optimal input into the micro lenses on the SIR2 CCD image sensor that cut off light at angles greater than 12deg.
Resolve Optics has for over 20 years developed OEM quantity specialist lens systems and optical designs for small and large high technology businesses.
The company has the proven and rare capability to produce small quantities of high performance, mounted lens systems with the look, feel and quality equivalent to the best professional photographic and broadcast TV lenses.
Specialised Imaging is a leading manufacturer of innovative imaging systems and components for industrial, military and scientific applications.
The company recently launched the SIR2 - a unique high performance, high-speed camera that offers true double imaging capability enabling valuable information on displacement and velocity to be gained from ballistics, detonics and impact studies.
